Adolescents are among the hardest hit under the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. In view of the widely observed adversities and inequalities among adolescents, this Symposium brings together experts from different parts of the world, including but not limited to the Greater China regions, the United States, and the Netherlands, to share their insights on how the pandemic and its containment measures have disproportionately affected adolescents, especially the disadvantaged ones, and what might help mitigate the impact and inequalities associated with COVID-19. Panel discussions will follow to further explore the health and social impact of COVID-19 from an equity lens, and the way forward to shape a fairer environment for adolescent development.

Free admission, all are welcome.
